[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - Released in 1957 by Columbia Pictures, "Operation Mad Ball" was the first feature movie co-starring Ernie with his best friend Jack Lemmon. Also co-starring is Bing Crosby's second wife, Kathryn Grant, along with the late Arthur O'Connell, and the equally wild Mickey Rooney.
[Updated January 25, 2011] - In 1957, Ernie Kovacs received the Sylvania Award for his work on the NBC color special "The Silent Show". As a result of the publicity for this TV special, Kovacs received a movie offer from Columbia Studios (which resulted in his role in the film Operation Mad Ball), and appeared on the cover of the April 15, 1957 issue of LIFE magazine.

@MadScout I just watched it today and all I could think was that Jack Lemmon's character was like a little more subdued version of Hawkeye, haha!

Kind of a MASH for World War II. Jack Lemmon rules.

One of the great comedies of the '50s. So overlooked.

I need to see this. If this has been shown on Turner Classics or Fox Movie Channel in the past fews years I must have missed it.
Thanks for posting this.

Actually, it is scheduled frequently on Turner Classic Movies. Keep an eye on it's website. You can actually send yourself a reminder email.
